    Google account password change: Do the accounts on an android media player need to be told?

    Thanks for the interest and feedback, all you helpful people in my computer. I did the deed mentioned in the OP and fled the scene, have not heard any sounds of disappointment yet. We will let things develop. In the Fullness of Time, All will be revealed. Hopefully not to me, though, not...

    Google account password change: Do the accounts on an android media player need to be told?

    Trying to find instructions for what you don't need to do is even more difficult than finding instruction for what you do need to do.

    Google account password change: Do the accounts on an android media player need to be told?

    Intriguing, thanks. So, if the mediaplayer changes hands, it will continue to use the same google account? To remove the device, one would have to use a logged-in phone or computer to remove access through the "Linked Apps" menu? It seems I do not, in fact, speak Android.

    Google account password change: Do the accounts on an android media player need to be told?

    I have changed the google password on a family member's android phone. The phone reports the account is in use in 2 places on an android media player: once for the media player android account, and once for youtube. The player has been rebooted, but it plays youtube fine. Does the changed...

    Oh No, I'm not falling for that again.

    SITA outsourcing procurement services despite employing 72 people for this purpose

    Are there any fans of "red tape" here? I am developing a postulate that this label is easily smeared onto "proper procurement practices" by those intent on wrongdoing. Of course, the label "those intent on wrongdoing" is easily smeared onto those intent on improving government efficiency by...

    How South African students performed in an international standardised benchmarking survey for mathematics and science

    This might explain some of my academic history.

    How South African students performed in an international standardised benchmarking survey for mathematics and science

    I am sure there are many problems in education in our beloved country, but if I had spent time doing Grade 5 "Stuff", prepping for Grade 5 exams, I would probably crash and burn (even harder than normal) if presented with Grade 4 questions.

    Top early Black Friday tech deals in South Africa

    I, too, am uncomfortable with the debt-bonds with which the Capitalist class seek to enslave us, Comrade. However, if I were an aspiring Media Professional (i.e. PodTuber), perhaps I could finesse a tax-break for my 100inch Professional Quality-Monitoring Viewstation? I mean, what could be more...

    Top early Black Friday tech deals in South Africa

    Besides the obvious "Cash-Poor but Expectation/Hope-of-future-income-Rich, with insistent little voices demanding a TV NowNowNow" situation, could there be tax benefits to this sort of rent-to-own arrangement?

    Vodacom launches R249 4G phone

    I'ts nice to know that someone is thinking of low-income earners. Even if the thinking is "How can we harvest that low income?". And Lo! Thinks became plastic and rare-earth minerals, and a product was offered for sale. It might be quite interesting to see what the Invisible Hand Of The Free...

    Former Hohm Energy contractors allege they haven't been paid

    I'm glad myBB is still on this. I wonder if there are any people who were "there" before Mr Gray's time? That seems likely, unless the company was run by AI. Perhaps they have some thoughts on the subject. I hope that some means could be found to enable them to express those thoughts to law...

    Former employee says Hohm Energy stopped paying staff salaries

    Silly, everyone knows money is made by Fiat. Is it significant that in the original article, Mr Gray is introduced as: but this now reads: Perhaps this was just a simple error, now corrected. However, this seems to leave this statement hanging: It might be interesting to know if the...

    Cape Town unveils new solar programme and R14.6 million plant

    Sounds like positive news. More of this, please. One might idly wonder if a wastewater treatment plant might be a good source of biogas for harvesting or utilisation. It would be nice to think that I am making a contribution to the Green Revolution when I ..er.. make a contribution to...

    Former employee says Hohm Energy stopped paying staff salaries

    I can't claim to know what is happening here, but the scenario that my AI hallucinates is: A multi-millionaire is telling people who live paycheque-to-paycheque that they are just imagining the bouncing debit-orders and the bailiffs making a list of saleable items in their home. And this bit...
